Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between residential greenspace and the impact of COVID-19 on health, focusing on Danish adults 50 and older during the pandemic.* -
- Researchers found that increased greenspace was associated with lower rates of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality, especially among vulnerable groups like the elderly and those with chronic illnesses.* -
- Health impact assessments suggested that enhancing local greenspace could have potentially prevented 8-14% of COVID-19 cases in the population studied, indicating benefits of greening initiatives.*
Background: Few cohort studies have examined the associations of natural surroundings (green and blue space) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and show mixed findings. We aimed to investigate the associations between long-term exposure to green and blue space and incidence of CVD in the Danish Nurse Cohort.
Methods: We followed 19,070 female nurses living in Denmark from 1993/1999 to 2018.
Background: Greenspaces contribute positively to mental and physical well-being, promote social cohesion, and alleviate environmental stressors, such as air pollution. Ecological studies suggest that greenspace may affect incidence and severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Objective: This study examines the association between residential greenspace and COVID-19 related hospitalization and death.
Exposure to outdoor air pollution may affect incidence and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this retrospective cohort based on patient records from the Greater Manchester Care Records, all first COVID-19 cases diagnosed between March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2022 were followed until COVID-19 related hospitalization or death within 28 days. Long-term exposure was estimated using mean annual concentrations of particulate matter with diameter ≤2.
